militant bunch. Hence their putting up with all manner of mistreatment and exploitation by their

misrulers, white and black. The most they are disposed to do to their misrulers is to admonish them

to “Fear God!” – as one protester's miserable placard read in last week's Lagos demonstration

against the latest of the murderous fuel price hikes by the OBJ Misgovernment. The idea of an

uprising to tame their misrulers is alien to the religiously opiated frame of mind of the Nigerians.

5] The lesson in the contrast between an Africa that the Christian missionaries brainwashed

and subverted, and a Japan where this brainwashing and subversion was forcibly prevented, is stark

Congo robber farm.

and clear. What then must Africans of today begin to do to save themselves from brainwashing by

their White World enemies here on earth? – That is the question.

The Belgians, under orders of King Leopold II hung thousands of Congolese citizens.

Congolese women reality: Shackled together, enslaved in their own homeland, held as hostages until their men returned with enough rubber to make King Leopold and the Belgium people rich beyond their wildest dreams. While impoverishing and enslaving the native people.

I am so sorry. I can tell you that my 12-year old daughter is learning about the cruelties committed by one of the most active mass murderers in history whereas I still learned about all the richness we gained as a country and how we "educated " the black people.

I am an upcoming African Writer. This letter that was written in 1883 by King Leopold II, I would like to use it in my book, and I wonder if you can help tell me whether I need permission for this and from whom?

Evan says...You do understand that black men sold slaves to white men right? The colour of ones skin doesn't matter, there are evil ones among every culture and colour.

Evan, u see, the brainwashing is still working. The stories u heard about africans selling africans to europeans is a story that has been told by europeans. When u learn about african civilisations and handlings, you see the contradictions, defeated people after a war were so important for the winning king because he used the artists for his court and the strong ones for his army after integrating them. So, for the king, selling his people would have meant his complete poverty.

the "foreigners" had guns, the African held a spear. correct on both counts. but, if you do a history of the proud Ashanti tribe of Ghana, you will realise that time and again, the spear-wielding African beat the gun-toting white man every time. the white man continued to be beaten and badly humiliated until the Europeans enlisted the help of the Ga tribe (from the Gold Coast, now Ghana), some tribes from Nigeria and some Fante Chieves also from the Gold Coast. so you see, as much as the idea of the African willingly giving over his land to the "foreigner" irks you, there is an uncomfortable truth to it. fast forward to our day, the "foreigner" has left the African to "manage his own affairs"; what has this African done with his independence except dominate his fellow man to his injury.
on the matter of the Bible, you will find that the atrocious King's letter enjoined his hypocritical and greedy missionaries to misuse the verses in the Bible. just do a careful reading of his letter and discern this.

you have to go back to shool to learn African's history have you ever heard of "the battle of Ambwila" in the kingdom of Kongo,"The Battle of Isandlwan" and "the Battle of Blood Rive" in South Africa???who told you that Africans gave away their lands??? if it wasn't for their weapons and guns,Europeans could never ever conquer Africa!! Slavery and Colonialism happens because they had Guns and Africans had spears !!! that's the only reason white people lead the worl because they have the most weapon of mass destruction!! t

Well this is quite disturbing.Thus what history is all about,but i am glad that GOD has made us know the truth.Because of this truth we fought for our independance.We are free now .Freedom we have got but our own brothers are suppressing us.So we still have to fight our own war to be emancipate from all this.

nat tuner says...and after their total and complete compromise...we will put then in zoo like settings.....

Africa's future is in the hands of those who will think differently and act opposite the current structures and systems because the current systems were never designed for equality and they do not have the ability to support free and equal economy.

Nana Amofah says...What's so precious about the Black man's Africa that all white hate us to the bone. What ever they do Africa will never be the extension of Europe and one day our sons and daughters shall arise to pay the wicked ones in their own coin for killing our heroes like great Osagyfo Kwame Nkrumahs, Patrice Lumubers, Amilcar Cabrals, Chris Haanis, Steve Bikos and many more whose life and blood were sacrafice for our freedom will be celebrated. Africa is the next world! Our song still remains, We Shall Overcome! Amanla Ngewetu!!!!

neo says...The bible is not the problem, the problem is people using it negatively for their own benefits. It is quite clear that everyone played a role in colonization. Blacks gave away their land to strangers without a flinch and whites took it. Yes, there was some kind of manipulation tactics used but now that we have the power to change things, we have to find a way to write history the best way we know how as the black population. South Africa was also a victim of apartheid, which was a system similar to that of colonization. The system however failed because blacks stood up and fought for their own liberation. Now that we are liberated politically, we need to be liberated financially. The economy of this country is influenced by the white majority and at this point, blacks are fighting it back using all sorts of legislation. The sad thing however is that white domination has been replaced by black domination with many of the money belonging to the black demagogues.

Jack dupre says...This letter is a complete hoax. Leopold may have exploited Africa, but he was not stupid to say such caricatural things nor act sadistically towards the populations of his colony. Total racist lies .

ABEBA, YOU REALLY NEED TO REWARD YOUR STATEMENT... IT IS QUIET INCORRECT. ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF...

Abeba Etienne says...Africa should stop feeding and mothering Harlots, pimps, prostitutes and bloodsuckers. That's why it struggles and remains a slave. Africa needs to catch up with the 21C. The African belief is that 'they should be kind to their enemies'. And their enemies constantly laugh in their face. Imagine you are born a King and you GIVE your kingdom to any stranger who comes to your home. That's why the only news you know of them in recent days is that they cannot manage a cup of clean hygienic, sanitised water to maintain their basic heath. The country is a sham, led by shameful acts of inhumanity. Its like the continent is led by drunks. European nations once realising their errors make amends. Many African countries do not. They simply let the people rule themselves and if they wish to save any form of human decency they have to remove themselves from their homes and claim to be a SLUM seeker in a western nation. And the western leaders try their best to accommodate these slum seekers by building and pricing accommodation which the slum dwellers or seekers could never afford lest they get involved in some criminal activity which leads to being accommodated by the state leading to deportation. So African life become valueless and seemingly meaning less. But I choose to state valueless as the people are the ones who place value on themselves and they are the ones who choose the standards they wish to live by.

Damola. The hospitals,roads,schools and other facilities you talk about were built to aid the colonial machinery but not to help Africa. I live in Ghana and all the railways that were built in the colonial days and still exist today have a particular pattern, they are from mining towns to the ports in Accra and Takoradi. The school were built to produce local clerks and assistants to help in the colonial administration which was cheaper than bringing people from Europe(they never taught skills or sciences),This pattern can be seen in all African countries.regions without resources RECEIVED LITTLE OR NO EVANGELISM. There is so much 'learning and reading to be done by Afrikans who think they know it all...I need to read and find facts...YOU need to read and find facts.

MingLee Afro-Asian Elder says...Damola Adeyeye, have you taken the time to search out those questions you so eloquently posed to your readers? I have been a student of Our History/Culture for thr lasrt 25yrs. While I understand your point of view, it is incorrect. Become a student of self/Africa and you will in tunr be transformed into a catylist fo change on the coninent, not just another casual bystander/observer. You can be the chang yoyr continent needs!

Jack,the truth hurts but this is the truth and what do u me an by racist? the black race is just looking into the past not to repeat their mistakes,they are not placing their race above any race. There is so much ugly truth about the Congo and Belgium that u can't believe

Our mission is to unite every black family world wide ,We seek to foster a more unified and stronger black community in which our community is included and valued, by sharing ideas based on the challenges we .There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.We could work together to end corruption and set a new agenda to restore the stolen pride and peace of Africa.
